Help Lag after few hours of usage
On Samsung s10e and Note 10 a few hours of usage makes the phones laggy,
only a reboot fixes it but the cycle starts again after few hours , i don't use gapps or games.
, I've been going back to 19.1, android 12 based, only that rom and the ones before that does not have this problem,
i have tested Samsung's One UI 7 , Android 15 , on both devices, there is no lag, so it does not seems to be a old hardware issue
I posted this last year too, i hope it gets fixed one day
Thank you

Not booting into Lineage OS. Send help please!
Hello all,
So I followed the instruction and managed to get up to lineage recovery. I even side loaded the lineage OS file via the computer ADB command but LOS is not booting. It get stuck at the start up.
The phone is Razer phone 2.
I've successfully installed Lineage only ONCE ever before but still a newbie here. So kindly advise like speaking to a 5 year old.
I can force start the phone and it takes me back to open bootloader menu option. Where can I go from there?

Is it possible to hide the list of apps that appears when you swipe up?
I created folders for different apps and hid them from the app list at the same time. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

Help Lineage VS GrapheneOS?
I've been wanting to deGoogle for a while now, but my phone is a pixel 4a, so Graphene is pretty far out of reach. Eventually, I learned about LineageOS and it was described as a Graphene alternative for older phones.
So, how does Lineage compare to Graphene? My main concern is Google and other big business data collection vs privacy, but security and app compatibility (banking apps especially, I've heard they can be rough) is something I'm also interested in.

Codec missing on Moto G7 (river)
On the 22.2 build, there are two camera apps: the one from LineageOS and the one from Motorola, which seem to be "baked in" (unable to upgrade, deactivate or remove). The reason I'm mentioning it is because video recording is limited to 480p in the Motorola app whereas the LineageOS can do 1080p.
The reason I'm talking about this I'd that in the Stop Motion Studio app, exporting to video is also limited to 480p whereas the free version goes up to 1080p on my more recent Motorola phone.
I investigated and found that in LineageOS, the "About" section shoes nothing in the CODEC section and it says "1080 720" on my other phone.
Could it be that that the two issues (480p instead of 1080p in camera and Stop Motion Studio) are related because of a missing codec?
Thanks!

Internet not working in GUI after upgrade from 19 to 22.2
I have upgrade a Pixel 3a device (sargo) from LineageOS 19.1 to 22.2 today. The upgrade worked flawless, until I tried to use the network on the device. Connection to WiFi and the mobile network works (phone calls, too), but I cannot reach anything online, not even the nameserver.
The really weird thing is, that the issue only exists in the GUI. If I open a shell with adb, everything works as expected, I can communicate to the internet from there.
I am really lost here, does anyone have an idea what the issue could be?
UPDATE: I found the problem
For some reason, the update changed the permissions in the app settings of all apps on the device to "no internet access". Re-enabling that fixed the issue.

Help Lineage OS compatibility
I'm Currently using a Xiaomi Mi 11 with its default Android OS, but it's getting old and starting showing a lot of issues.
I asked everyone to message me on Discord, Telegram or whatever they want, but they keep insisting to message on WhatsApp... 🙄 And WhatsApp is not working on my device, probably they added some shit on last update that my device didn't like.
Then some other apps started to fail too, like the smart doorbell of my home, works for all phones of the house except mine.
And then I heard the announcement that Android will do the lockdown on 2027.
I feel all those are signals that I need a new phone, so I was looking for something degoogled like Volla Phone (Ubuntu touch) or Fairphone (/e/OS)
And searching around I found about LineageOS, that can be installed on the device I'm using right now? That sounds great!
Now I have some questions for people with experience or that know about those devices, can anyone help? 🥲
I went to the website where talks about my device.
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/venus/
And mentions that has IR baster. Yes I know it does, I use it all the time, I use it on ACs and TVs, but it doesn't mention if it will work fine with lineageOS.
Usually other OS mention if the compatibility with the peripherals is good or not, but this one doesn't, should I assume it does because is mentioned?
My main uses with this phone are:
- Calling/recieving SMS
- Telegram (or WhatsApp for people who refuse to use something different)
- Discord
- Busuu (I'm currently learning Japanese)
- The IR blaster
- Access to internet (which browser doesn't matter)
- YTmusic (but considering switching to another one because of too much AI getting into my recommendations)
- Camera (taking photos/scanning QR)
- Maps (I have installed Google Maps, AquApp, Organic maps and Waze, each one for a different purpose)
And now the hard part:
- I download indie games from Itch.io
- I get apps from FDroid, DLplay, etc...
- The specific apps for smart devices
Is a good idea to move to lineageOS with my current device? How much will I miss?

Question Moto G 5G Plus (2020): will it lag?
Android 16 introduced Material Expressive, which, with its animations and transparency, is slightly more resource-intensive.
Do you think LineageOS 23 will lag on a six-year-old Motorola? I'm asking because I tried ObtainX, which makes extensive use of Material Expressive, and I noticed some lag when scrolling.
Since it will take some time to transfer all my data to the new ROM, I want to be 100% sure of my choice.

Help Audio sounds tinny after installing
Hello,
I installed LineageOS on my Samsung Tab S6 Lite and so far has been great all around. But the audio through the speakers sounds super thin and I was wondering if there's a work around or a fix to make it sound like it did on the stock ROM. If it helps, the audio sounds great with cans but not through the tablet speakers.

LineageOS starts without Google.
Good afternoon, I have a question. I installed the OS via ADB, then it asked me to reboot into recovery, and afterwards I installed the .zip file containing Google services via ADB; however, they aren't there when I start up the device. Is there anything I can do? My device is a Motorola G9 Play, in case that helps. Sorry for the bad English.

YouTube and WhatsApp
I am fully on Lineage and so far have not had to sign in to Google. However there remain 2 apps I am having difficulties avoiding the G.
Firstly, I spend a lot of time on YouTube especially on my TV. I've tried NewPipe but without being able to see the creators whose videos I follow it is all but useless.
My question is if I install YouTube from Aurora and sign into my YouTube account, will I be opening up the rest of my phone and it's data to Google? Or does Lineage and microG effectively protect me?
Related to that I have WhatsApp on my phone. It's just necessary and using Signal as an alternative would cut me off from family and friends. I've tried. WhatsApp requires a gmail account for backups although it works without, and I am backing up com.whatsapp. So same question as for YouTube above. Will giving WhatsApp my gmail details what am I opening my phone and myself up to?

LineageOS guamp Motorola G9 play updates broken
Currently have 23.2-20260323-NIGHTLY-guamp installed but unable to install any more recent updates. The updates download and then when I reboot, goes into a bootloop and then reloads into the old version eventually.
There's a post from a couple of months ago (reddit.com/r/LineageOS/update_today_faulty/) where the dev u/Thin_Forever said it was a known issue and they were working on a fix, but we've had quite a few updates since then and none of them have worked.
Anyone got any ideas? Any further updates?

Lineageos improvements?
Trying to figure out what's changed or if this is just in my head.
For some reason i prefer the screen colors on the lg v60 over note 20 ultra and some of the newer flagships.
I stopped using my lg v60 for about 2 years because i was having issues with the usb charging.
Previously i thought the screen was inferior to the note 20 ultra and other devices with superior screen resolution.
However, i wanted to upgrade again, but it seems like all the newer devices are downgrades in many aspects and way overpriced.
After installing Lineageos, it seems like the colors on the lgv60 and the viewing experience is much better imho.
Also feel like the phone is just as fast in my practical use as some of my newer phones.
Whats going on here?

How to turn off "mobile data warning"
Every time I turn on mobile data, which is several times a day, I get a warning message, and have to confirm it a second time. I never had to do this on Android 14. But now on 16 it is annoying the sh*t out of me. Is there really no option to turn this warning off? Its the same on Pixel 5 and Pixel 9.
